We are analyzing connections now more than ever, our connection to one another, nature, our country, and humanity. The human experience carries an authentic universality that connects us all. These connections seem to arise from a collective subconscious that we all share, no matter our culture, generation, or gender. We recognize this exploration as human emotion, and our connections are at the core of it all. CONNECTION is a plurality of perspectives on connecting emotionally, physically, or spiritually and how the never-ending desire will stay with us always.
